👉 Suspect computing refers to the process where a malicious actor, often referred to as a hacker or cybercriminal, uses computational resources, such as servers, cloud services, or even compromised devices, to carry out cyberattacks. This can include distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, where the attacker floods a target with traffic to overwhelm its resources, or data breaches, where they exploit vulnerabilities to steal sensitive information. By leveraging the collective power of multiple machines, cybercriminals can amplify their attacks, making them more difficult to detect and mitigate. This approach allows attackers to operate at a scale that would be impractical or impossible with a single machine, significantly increasing their potential impact and effectiveness.
